Grim portents/dungeon moves for The Keep on the Borderlands

Grim portents/dungeon moves for The Keep on the Borderlands

Grim portents/dungeon moves for The Keep on the Borderlands

This is the list referred to in the latest Fear of a Black Dragon, which I wanted to share at least in part to draw your attention to Dunkey Halton’s online demon generator.

– You hear the distant tolling of a sinister bell, somewhere within the mountain.

– A portion of the floor falls away to reveal the labyrinth – irregular tunnels that connect all the “regular” levels of the caves

– You hear the sound of battle in the tunnels somewhere (hohools and wormlings fighting)

– Spell of confusion: The party find themselves lost in the labyrinth (even if they have stuck to the ‘regular’ tunnels)

– Crude drawing scratched on the wall of a creature with a flower for a head. (See Dunkey Halton’s Yoon-Suin demon generator: http://rememberdismove.blogspot.hk/2017/07/yoon-suin-demon-generator.html )

– The scent of acrid incense wafts down the tunnel.

– The Great Bell is rung

– The demon patron, Vorb the Wise, arrives

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving! For this classic American holiday, Tom McGrenery and I present an episode of FoaBD about a classic American module. No single module or adventure has probably been covered as much as The Keep on the Borderlands, but Tom and I have, as always, managed to put our distinctive FoaBD spin on things.

Enjoy!

We have a special episode of The Gauntlet Podcast for you today.

We have a special episode of The Gauntlet Podcast for you today.

We have a special episode of The Gauntlet Podcast for you today. This is the audio from the “Being a Great Player” panel at Gauntlet Con 2017. The panel featured Yoshi Creelman Auzumel Srsly and Patrick Knowles, and it was excellent. So much great insight, so much terrific advice, and particularly enjoyable because the RPG discussion-sphere tends to focus on how to be a great GM.

Enjoy!

At the top of this one, I talk about “polling the table,” a spotlight management technique I have used for a long time. In the actual gameplay, it’s back to homeroom for the kids and the return of a very menacing figure.

Hey Gauntleteers!

Hey Gauntleteers! Do you have any topics or questions about being a Player in PbtA you’re interested in hearing Rach Shelkey and I talk about +1 Forward? Let us know!

edited to clarify – We’re asking for questions about being a player and playing the game. Please angle towards that vs. MC-related questions. Thanks.
